Chapter 190 Key
An Yunhe handed An Yunxi a key.
An Yunxi held the bronze key in her hand with a bewildered look on her face. The key looked very valuable because it was engraved with very complicated patterns.
"Brother, what is this?"
An Yunhe raised his lips and said, "I found it in the room where Emperor Beiling was recuperating. I was bored, so I checked where the key to open the secret room was. I heard that Emperor Beiling left a will in advance, so just in case, I helped you and Ling Fengxun steal it."
"Steal?"
An Yunxi's eyes widened. Her brother was really capable. He could even get this thing.
An Yunhe's dark eyes were full of smiles, "Okay, keep it first, it will definitely be useful."
An Yunxi nodded immediately, she knew in her heart that this key must have been hard to come by.
If the emperor's things were so easy to steal, they would have been lost long ago.
"Third brother, let's not talk about other things first, you change your clothes immediately, and then go out with me and the prince."
An Yunhe stood up immediately without hesitation.
An Yunxi personally took the key from the jailer's hand and unlocked the chain on him.
After a while, a guard came in from outside with a person on his shoulder.
An Yunhe took a look at the man, who was unconscious and about the same size as him.
An Yunxi said: "This man is a death row prisoner brought from other cells. He has killed several good women. Third brother, don't feel sorry for him. Even if he doesn't die today, he will be interrogated and beheaded in two days."
No one would care about this kind of prisoners even if there were a few less.
In those cells, there are death row prisoners who die of illness or hunger every day.
An Yunhe couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
He changed into a set of clothes worn by guards and gave his clothes to the death row prisoner.
Then he used potion to take off the mask on his face and put it on the other person's face.
After making all the preparations, An Yunhe followed An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun out of the sky prison.
Several prison guards obviously noticed that there was one more guard brought by the prince.
But no one dared to ask a single question.
They lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.
To do things here, you have to be smart. If you mess up some important people, you won't know how you died.
Just when Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi were taking An Yunhe out of the palace.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Ling Fengxun sent An Yunhe to a palace gate inside the palace.
Next to him was a palace servant pushing a wooden barrel. He bowed and nodded to Ling Fengxun and said, "Prince, the people who are waiting outside are ready. Don't worry, you will not be discovered."
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at An Yunhe and said, "After leaving the palace, no one will know you anyway. You can go anywhere you want."
An Yunhe nodded, "Prince, I am grateful for your kindness."
Ling Fengxun said, "I am doing this for Xiao Xier's sake. You don't need to thank me."
An Yunhe's eyes deepened.
"No more words, Xier, take care."
An Yunxi watched An Yunhe hide in the wooden barrel.
The wooden barrel was clean. It was a vegetable cart that was used to transport wine, vegetables and other things to the palace. It was just big enough to accommodate one person. Leaving
the palace from here will not attract attention.
An Yunxi waited until An Yunhe left before she tilted her head and asked, "Prince, didn't you arrange for someone to burn down the prince's East Palace?"
Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows and said, "The incident happened suddenly, and Huixin didn't have time to enter the palace. Fortunately, the Queen Mother handed over the management of the palace to me. Now I have the final say. As long as they don't do it blatantly, no one dares to cause trouble to me."
Ling Fengxun's words were extremely overbearing and full of confidence.
Sending An Yunhe away in such a safe way was for the other party's safety and to avoid trouble and gossip.
Right now, stabilizing the government is the most important thing. He let go of a prince of the Southern Qi Kingdom. If the late emperor knew about this, even if the Emperor Beiling was put into a coffin, he would jump out of anger.
An Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
"That's good. It saves a lot of trouble."
The plan had been changing in many ways, but she was a little regretful that the prince's East Palace was not burned down.
At this moment, the palace maids not far away suddenly became a little hurried, and all ran in one direction.
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately asked An Yunxi to stand there and wait. He grabbed a palace maid and asked, "What happened?"
"Reporting to the prince, the prince's East Palace was burned down!"
As soon as these words came out, An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun were stunned at the same time.
It is true that the plan was to burn down the Prince's Eastern Palace, but that was arranged before the Emperor died.
But now that the Emperor is dead, why burn down the Eastern Palace?
No,
it was not done by someone he arranged.
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately took An Yunxi to hurry over.
An Yunxi's steps were brisk, and she did not delay the journey at all because of her pregnancy.
Moreover, the palace was so chaotic, Ling Fengxun was not at ease to place An Yunxi somewhere, and only with her by his side could he feel most at ease.
An Yunxi knew Ling Fengxun's little thoughts, but she didn't say it.
She had the ability to protect herself, and the ten secret guards of Emperor Beiling could not beat her, but if she could not take action, why would she, a dignified princess, take action herself?
With a smile in her eyes, An Yunxi secretly glanced at Ling Fengxun's solemn expression. When her own prince was serious about his work, his charm was really unmatched
. The two of them quickly came to the prince's East Palace with the palace servants.
The flames were already blazing here. Ling Fengxun held An Yunxi's hand tightly. The two stood at a distance from the burning room, which allowed them to see the situation inside clearly without being affected by the fire.
There were already palace servants frantically fetching water to put out the fire, but there was only one well of spare water, and now it was dry, the fire was completely out of control.
Palace maids and eunuchs who lived in the East Palace kept running out in panic, and the palace guards with weapons had surrounded the area, looking for the person who set the fire.
When Ling Fengxun saw the fire, he knew without a doubt that it was set by someone.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the other side of the wall, and many guards rushed over with weapons.
An Yunxi pulled the corner of her prince's clothes.
"They should have found the person who set the fire."
Ling Fengxun put his arm around An Yunxi's waist and held her in his arms, but he didn't intend to join in the excitement.
"Well, wait for them to bring the person to me."
An Yunxi smiled: "Your Highness is really getting more and more like a superior."
In the past, he was used to doing this kind of thing himself.
This time, Ling Fengxun was indifferent.
Hearing An Yunxi say this, Ling Fengxun answered with a clear conscience.
"Now that I have you and the child, I will not put myself in danger again."
